Wednesday Wonderings - 08.07.08

Well I am just scraping in for Wednesday. I have been super busy for the last few weeks but I am back.

This week I wanted to talk about adding dimensional interest to your pages. Dimensional Interest can be added in numerous ways. Think of the following things when trying to add interest to your layouts and projects.

- Use an edge distressor. This simple little tool can a shabby look to your pages in seconds. Simply drag it along the edge of your paper until you have achieved the desired look.
- Stitching. Break out the needle and thread and add a gorgeous finish to your page. Thread comes in so many different colours, it would be hard not to find a match for your layout.
- Paint. Splash or stamp a bit of paint here and there can easily fill spaces which might have been 'dead' otherwise.
- Stamping. Stamps come in a multitude of designs. Want to make a flourish pop? Stamp another one underneath your embellie and add some kindy glitz. Instant dimension.
- Ink. This medium can be used in multiple ways. From adding a dash around the edge of your papers, to brushing it on like paint to fill 'dead' spaces, to using it to alter chipboard etc to suit your layout. Ink also comes in tonnes of colours so you are sure to find one which compliments your layouts.
All of these little things can help add dimensional interest to your page. Why not give one (or even a few) a go and share your layout links here with us.
